September 29, 2021 - Great bottle,
In the end of his top drinking window.
Will stand another 3-5 years.
Almond, hazelnut, ripe pear.
Decant 1 Hour for full opening. -

February 4, 2017 - Mature, oxidized nose of baked apple, raisin and orange marmelade. Dull and flat.
Simple, oxidized palate.
Stored perfectly since release this did not survive 18 years of cellaring...1 person found this helpful Comment
